about us

Allison Stark is a graduate from the University of Kansas with a degree in psychology and behavioral science. Allison studies to be a therapist to work with young children. While far from her major, Maketa is a brand Allison is passionate about and surprisingly used some of those very things she learned in school. As a student studying to be a therapist Allison learned many tactics, such as breathing, to deal with anxiety and stress, something she to struggles with. This breathing tactic asks you to name a few of the scents that you smell in hopes to distract you from the anxiety you are facing. When creating Maketa soaps, Allison wanted to focus on making a scent that would last on your hand and be soothing at the same time. That way when anxiety or stress came along someone could smell their hands and just breathe. 

In the future Allison hopes to expand to lotions and candles but all while keeping scents that are soothing when anxieties strike. Everyone deserves to relax and Maketa was created to help you do so with scents that sooth the soul.

Tactics, such as focusing on scents and practicing mindfulness while doing daily tasks such as washing your hands has been known to calm anxiety.  Maketa Foaming Soap scents were chosen so when anxiety or stress came along, one could smell their hands and just breathe.
